Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Token of Death (cookie ban)

Token of Death (cookie ban)
by http://www.shinraonline.com
Version: BETA!

Products: 1
Plugins: 2
Queries: 1 (if the user is in banned group)


THIS IS A BETA... DON'T INSTALL IT...

Really, I mean it. Okay, so it worked on my test forum, but do you really want to be a guinea pig?

Actually, its using the "forumhome_complete" hook to initiate the banning process... I think there's probably a better hook, but I'm not sure where yet.

Sounds cool, does it destroy robots?

Um, no. If a user is banned, it will set a cookie and if they re-register or log onto an alias, they will be auto-banned.


IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE:

If you test this out on your forum, delete the cookie before you log back into your admin account or you will get banned!!

(Next version, I'll add a check so admins are exempt)


Installation:

Step 1: Import product-token_of_death.xml

Step 2: edit the 'Token Of Death: Bake a Cookie!' and change the 8 to your preferred banned usergroup ID. 8 I think is the default.
admincp -> plugin manager -> Token Of Death: Bake a Cookie! (edit)

PHP Code:

if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 8)) 


Step 2: edit the 'Token of Death: Stealth Ban!' plugin and change $TODgroup to the usergroup you want to add the user to.
admincp -> plugin manager -> Token of Death: Stealth Ban! (edit)

PHP Code:

// This is the usergroup you want to change the user to (banned).
$TODgroup = 10; 


Step 3: Take over World!

sid's needs a . TABLE_PREFIX .

[saf-t scissors]

I installed sid's version. It doesn't do a thing.

I can't figure out what the deal is. I fixed the TABLE_PREFIX line, but still nothing. I'm getting the TOS cookie with the banned account, I still have the cookie with the account that wants to be banned, the plugin is on, all the settings look correct, but it's not moving the new user to the banned usergroup.

[itsid]

Do you have SET the usergroup the user is to be moved into?

'sid

ps yupp, i've used Reeve of shinra's code and just added some lines without checking that's why there was no Table_prefix in it (updated).
I don't support that hack .. not even my own xml

[saf-t scissors]

Yeah, I set TOD_banned_usergroup and TOD_to_usergroup to 8.

Nuttin.

The test account was only banned temporarily, but I don't think that makes a difference. They should still be in usergroup 8.... no?

You should have named it "Cereal Killer"

[TVNettet]

Make your admin user account unalterable in config.php... this way admins can't ban themselves... Should work, though not sure from looking at the xml I will install this just yet.
Is default set up to ban group 8 or 10?

[Cyber Smoke]

Well, sid's version does not work. An update to this hack is really appreciated, I'm sure that I'm not the only person waiting for non-beta release =)

I've been watching this since I joined here and there has been no progress. I wish the author would update...

[Reeve of shinra]

Sorry guys, just been busy with real life and this kind of fell by the wayside. I'll see if I can find time over the week to do some small updates and get this ready for prime time.
